Many survivors have questions about sharing their story publicly, either through social media or other means. This Q&A explores the considerations survivors should weigh before choosing how to share their story

Informal resolution is one of the most debated parts of the new Title IX regulations. Do you know what it is? How do you know if it's right for you? What are the rules? Check out Volare's handout to learn more!

It’s hard to keep track of all the Title IX changes that are coming and what they will mean for students. Volare created this handout to breakdown that information!

This handout is intended for student-survivors, but can also address questions the public may have about the rule changes.

Title IX cases that involve a non-student can get confusing. We’re hoping our handout can help clarify what happens if the parties attend different schools, if one party graduates before the other, or if only one party is a student.

Supportive measures, accommodations…have you heard of these Title IX & Clery terms? Do you know what they mean? Do you know how they can help make you feel safer? Learn more from our handout!

You’ve heard of Title IX but did you know the Clery Act also provides important rights and protections for student-survivors? Learn more from our handout!

Do you know the new Title IX changes require live hearings with a Cross Examination? Learn more about what this will look like, if witnesses are required to testify, the types of questions that will be asked and more.

Do you know what Title IX is? How about the Clery Act? Do you know how these federal laws affect your rights as a student survivor? Read our handout to learn more!

The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for college students, but it also marks the start of the something known as the “red zone.” One in 5 women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college, more than 50% of those sexual assaults occur during the “red zone,” which takes place throughout August, September, October, and November.

As DC college and university students head back to school for a new year, we want to empower them with knowledge, information, and resources about sexual assault.

As a result of systemic racism, oppression, misogyny, and classism, many formalized systems, such as the criminal legal system or campus sexual misconduct proceedings, are inaccessible or undesirable avenues of justice for marginalized communities.

On May 6, 2020, I joined countless advocates, survivors, administrators, and activists in feeling deep disappointment that the Department of Education (DOE) chose to release new, confusing, and potentially harmful Title IX rules in the middle of a global pandemic. Student-survivors who are in the middle of their schools’ current processes feel the added uncertainty about what will happen if their case isn’t concluded by the new rules’ August 14, 2020 implementation date.

College students, along with many of us during COVID-19, have had to adjust to this new season. Student-survivors of sexual assault have the added obstacle of managing all of these changes and also dealing with their sexual assault and Title IX cases away from campus.
